Chapter 23: 23
Chapter 23: Unamplified Skill, Knowledge Blind Spot
Through the iron door, Lin Moyu cast Detection.
[Goblin Mine Guard (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 14]
[Strength: 800]
[Agility: 400]
[Spirit: 200]
[Constitution: 1000]
[Skill: Stunning Attack]
As expected of an enhanced elite monster, its attributes were several times higher than ordinary monsters.
Extremely high strength and constitution, high attack and defense.
A level 14 knight-class career would only have 300-400 constitution, far inferior to this enhanced elite monster.
Without teamwork, it would be difficult to clear the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.
However, these attributes were still far inferior to Lin Moyu's skeleton warriors.
Lin Moyu released the skeleton warriors from his summoning space, instantly filling the room.
Then he opened the door, officially starting his dungeon journey.
The Goblin Mine Guard roared excitedly and charged out from behind the iron door.
It was greeted by the skeleton warriors' great swords.
Though larger than the skeleton warriors, it had low agility and intelligence.
The skeleton warriors' blades immediately caused horrific wounds on its body.
Even one-on-one with a skeleton warrior, it would surely die.
Now it faced multiple skeleton warriors attacking simultaneously.
At least five or six skeleton warriors surrounded it, slashing away.
In just two seconds, it fell with a miserable cry.
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, Experience +4200]
Seeing the notification, Lin Moyu felt a flash of excitement.
The experience was about 10 times higher than monsters of the same level outside.
Killing one monster here was equivalent to killing 10 outside.
And it only took one or two seconds, not much slower.
This naturally sped up the leveling process.
Lin Moyu felt he had found the right direction and immediately issued orders.
The skeleton warriors charged into the dungeon passage with crackling sounds.
Like an unstoppable army, they cut through everything in their path.
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, Experience +4200]
[Obtained Bones x5]
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, Experience +4200]
[Obtained Fur x6]
Messages kept appearing.
Experience increased rapidly, and materials accumulated.
A detailed map of the dungeon quickly formed in Lin Moyu's mind.
The Mine dungeon was true to its name, a mine with many interconnected passages.
All paths eventually led to the dungeon's end.
Usually, other teams would choose one path to advance.
Unlike Lin Moyu, who sent skeleton warriors down every passage.
He didn't spare any monsters, killing all he could.
Just 5 minutes after entering the dungeon, Lin Moyu was enveloped in the light of leveling up.
"Finally, level 11."
After leveling up, his spirit power fully recovered. Lin Moyu immediately summoned 4 more skeleton warriors to join the team.
The number of skeleton warriors reached 56.
[Name: Lin Moyu]
[Career: Necromancer (Unique)]
[Level: 11 (0.00%)]
[Strength: 120]
[Agility: 120]
[Spirit: 40/400]
[Constitution: 120]
[Equipment: None]
[Summoning Space: 56/110, Skeleton Warrior (Quantity: 56)]
[Talent: Full Enhancement (Level 2, Unique)]
[Passive Skill: Damage Transfer]
[Active Skills: Soul Fire (Level 11), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11), Corpse Explosion (Level 1)]
[Full Enhancement (Level 2): All skill effects increased by 20 times.]
[Damage Transfer: All damage received by the necromancer is transferred to summoned creatures.]
[Soul Fire (Level 11): Burns the target's soul, causing scorching damage. Power depends on one's spirit and skill level.]
[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11): Summons one Bronze-rank skeleton warrior.]
[Corpse Explosion (Level 1): Detonates a corpse, dealing 10% of the corpse's life value as damage to enemies within a 1-meter range.]
Checking his attributes, Lin Moyu noticed:
"After level 10, the basic attribute increase is larger."
"Strength, agility, and constitution used to increase by 10 points per level, now it's 20 points."
"Spirit power increased by 100 points."
"As levels increase, future attribute increases will become larger."
Lin Moyu understood this principle after checking.
Skills improved again, with skeleton warriors' four attributes reaching 3400.
Basic attributes increased by 20 points, amplified 20 times, resulting in a 400-point increase.
All changes were mostly within expectations.
Only the newly acquired Corpse Explosion skill remained at level 1, unchanged.
"Why is that?"
Lin Moyu was puzzled. Why did Soul Fire and Summon Skeleton Warrior skills improve, but Corpse Explosion didn't change?
He couldn't understand.
This situation was outside his knowledge range, touching on a blind spot in his understanding.
"If Ning Yiyi were here, she might know."
Lin Moyu thought of Ning Yiyi, the playful girl who could talk endlessly and knew much more than him.
If she were here, he could ask her.
Temporarily setting aside his confusion, he continued deeper into the dungeon.
The Mine dungeon had eight passages, interconnected like a maze.
However, all these passages eventually converged.
Lin Moyu evenly distributed the skeleton warriors in each passage, not sparing a single monster.
Experience increased rapidly, steadily pushing his level up.
The efficiency was much higher than outside.
When he emerged from the passages, all monsters inside had been completely cleared out.
[Level: 11 (32.22%)]
Nearly one-third complete.
It took just over half an hour, very efficient.
